Manslaughter in English law, is the unlawful
killing of a human being in circumstances
less culpable than murder, eg: when the
killer suffers extreme provocation, is in
some way mentally ill (diminished
responsibility), did not intend to kill but
did so accidentally in the course of another
crime or by behaving with criminal
recklessness, or is the survivor of a genuine
suicide pact that involved killing the other
person.
